in distress asks humans for help in the deep blue see and hall of fame quarterback jim kelly and wife jill, how their marriage survived infidelity and tragedy. ever ladies and gentlemen, mike huckabee. >> mike: welcome to mike huckabee, we're coming to you from los angeles. callers to my radio show with not optimistic about the next four years with president obama at the helm. granted most of the listeners tend to lean conservative, but a term that i heard more than just once was that america was going to the dogs. i take strong exception to that. you see, tuesday, january 15th, my black labrador retriever jeb died as janet and i held him in our arms and he would have been 15 years old in april and i wanted to talk about it last week about it on the show and frankly didn't think i could without completely losing it. and we've had three wonderful dogs and jet was my inseparable companion, and my hunting and fishing companion and sat next to me during the books i've written and i don't think the country is going to the dogs, that would be a good thing, jet was good and kind to everyone, espe

's big game. boulevard burger created these. on the left is the san francisco jim-bo. named for 49ers coach jim harbaugh of course. it's a double beef burger. the taller of the two. on the right the baltimore johnny boy. a turkey burger named for ravens coach john harbaugh. >>> the city is propose $200 million worth of changes in the way you ride bikes. the city wants to build 12 miles of new bike lanes and upgrade 50 miles of the existing pass. the transportation city agency says it's needed since biking has increased by 71% in the past seven years. >>> no matter how you get around this morning, sal knows all about our commute. >> yes, i do. traffic is doing well. the drive times are up. but that will change in a little bit. we're looking at 280 northbound getting up to the highway 17 interchange with 880 here. you can see it is doing very nicely. also for the sunol grade southbound 680 traffic continues to look good heading down past mission boulevard. all the way to the bottom of the hill. we're off to a decent start on this monday morning. let's two to steve. >>> thank you. we do

gentzler. >> i'm jim vance of the tonight the boy scouts of america is considering a dramatic change in the controversial policy of excluding gales as both members of the organization and in leadership roles. nbc's pete williams broke the story today on twitter and on msnbc. he joins us now with more on this major development of the pete, tell me more. >> they're going to vote next week, the national board of directors. what they say is they'll look at a policy that would end the national band, and end the national requirement that says no bay people can be admitted as either scouts or scout leaders. instead, if this policy is approved, then and it looks like it's going to be, it would be up to every individual scouting organization to decide for itself what policy to have, so you could well have some troops that will admit gale scouts, some that won't. the scouts say it would be up to parents and sponsoring organizations to decide where to send their children. >> do we know why they decided to make this move? >> they haven't said exactly why, but it's pretty clear. there's be

we won't have to examine our conscience quite as much. let's talk about it. jim gray, sportscaster, fox news contributor. trevor price. retired nfl all-pro player. thanks for being here. >> hey. jamie: we're all for protecting our players. we're all for limiting liability, but truly the science does speak to the fact that there are injuries. before i get there, jim, do you think it's interesting that the president weighed in on this issue with so much on his plate? >> i think presidents have weighed in on these issues from time to time. president bush mentioned, last president bush, number 43 mentioned steroids in his state of the union address six or seven years ago. so they weigh in from time to time. president obama is saying the same thing that troy aikman, kurt warner, who were mvps, quarterbacks in the league and tom brady's son saying he possibly wouldn't allow his son to play now. it is probably time and entitled to have his opinion and good to hear from him on this subject. jamie: definitely is. trevor, there are so many lawsuits in this case. we pulled numbers for people

for change boy scouts. the long-held policy of excluding gays may soon be modified. jim angle is here to tell us about scouting about new future. >> the national boy scouts said they are considering removing the restrictions on sexual orientation for scouts and scout leaders, a significant change for the organization. statement from the group says, "this would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation and the chartered organization that oversee and deliver scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with each organization's mission, principles or religious beliefs." so a decision by the national board, which takes up the matter february 4 could eliminate the restriction that now prevents the boy scout rules call open or avowed homosexuals from participating as scout or scout leaders. the local sponsors, churches and synagogues would have the right to make their own decisions about their scout troops. >> whatever entity controls the troop will decide whether or not they will allow gay scouts and gay leaders. >> the conservative family res

. . >>> at the super bowl, no more intriguing subplot than the sibling rivalry between the two coaches, jim and john harbaugh say there's nothing to see here, we should be focusing on the players and the players and lone. not easy to ignore the dynamic between the two very different men. brian todd joining us with more. what are you seeing? >> they are different in some ways, very similar in others. specifically the competitiveness that they share. apparently, john and jim harbaugh have not spoken to each other this week, since their teams both won trips to the super bowl. they have exchanged text messages, that's about it that speaks to their competitiveness and the fact that brothers are more eager to focus on football and strategy than the story everyone is talking about. they have tried to downplay the family angle, but it's virtually impossible. >> i don't think you ever put your family aside, joe, you know, but -- well, the priorities, we have a job to do. all of us have to a job to do. all of his coaches, all our coaches and players, everybody focused on doing their job. >> john harbaugh is t

as head coach in the super bowl. john harbaugh with the baltimore ravens and jim harbaugh leading the fran 49ers. one year ago, he thought it would happen and started the process of trademarking the phrase har-bowl. sounds like a good idea. it was until the nfl sacked it. >> nice to be here. >> greta: you came up with a good idea before anybody else and spent your own money to get a trademark on this har-bowl and what happened? who stole it from you or gave you pressure? >> the nfl. they started out with phone call asking what my intentions were if it was to happen, maybe make shirts or hats, give it to local businesses and see if they might be interested in a deal to make silk screen those or something, and i was told that that was too close to their, their product and so they asked me if i would abandon the trademarks. >> greta: did you have a lawyer? i know they've got a lot of lawyers. did you have a lawyer for this? >> no, ma'am. >> greta: you're just doing this all by yourself with your good idea and suddenly, they think that that's too close to the super bowl trademark, is that righ

for any super bowl quark. and jif -- quarterback. and jim harbaugh brought the whole family, we will hear from him and players at 10:00 p.m. live from new orleans. we have anchors in new orleans and they will provide live reports leading up to super bowl sunday, it starts tonight on the 10:00 p.m. news. following the super bowl, switch your doom ktvu channel 2 news with -- your channel to ktvu channel 2 news with more. >> the a's held their fan fest today. 10,000 fans stacked in to meet the a's 2013 team. last season the roster was in flux but they still won the west division before losing to detroit. josh redick grew his beard and coco crisp decided to take on this look. >> i want to come back looking like santa claus. i wanted to get a weave. throw them off. but, yeah, so, i guess i am going to let it grow out. wherever it goes it goes. i don't think our expectations would be different this year unless we say we are going to win the world series. you know, taking it further approach. the main thing is to make it to the playoffs. >> the cal men's basketball team learned a lesson today, d

. i haut this was an incredible moment when jim demint is asked about the comments that colin powell made about a dark vein of intolerance, the racism within the republican party, and also republican comments on legitimate rape and this is how jim demint, who is now president or incoming president of the heritage foundation, presumably a leading voice among conservatives, this is his answer. >> do you regret some of the comments about abortion, about rape. again, what colin powell were vailed racist comments from the party. >> david, the fact that we are losing over 3,000 unborn children a day is an important issue, but republicans, or conservatives, should not engage in a debate about exceptions for abortion when the other side will not even agree that we have a real people, a real human being. >> just quickly summarizing that, are you worried about racism in the party or -- answer, there are 3,000 abortions every day. >> it is a fascinating example of where the republican party does and doesn't seem to be. the contrast between four years ago and now is so striking, as you said, at

-- baltimore ravens especially here. >> tucker: and jim cook to runs sam adams, what halloween is for nestle's, hershey, is super bowl. >> ainsley: and swimsuit models, wings, super bowl, anchoring that segment. >> clayton: that will be a tough day. san francisco, one of thing big participants in the super bowl going for their 6th super bowl title, i believe. 6th super bowl title. maybe more. and now, the mayor of san francisco wants to ban bars from serving alcohol during the super bowl to curb potential violence down there. >> tucker: like a third world election, basically the government says you have no self-control, you can't drink. >> clayton: there's a long history of san francisco having their bars open. >> ainsley: remember what happened at the world series in 2011, there were the riots and all of the bars were destroyed. so, what the mayor is doing, going around bar to bar to some of those damaged and talking with the owners and asking them what their thoughts are, how can we settle the crowd down if it gets out of hand and trying to limit hard liquor sales. >> tucker: but he's goin

committee, and republican congressman from iowa, jim nussle. thank you, everyone, for coming on the program. doug, to you first. shake ups, nothing too unexpected here, denis mcdonough as chief of staff. what does this mean for the obama white house in the second term? these folks have been through the ringer a few times. not like dick morris type of changes. what does this mane for the obama white house? >> these are all people that the president trusts. they have been with him for a while. denis mcdonough is a key national security adviser, dan pfeiffer has been with the president since the campaign. jen palmieri is a very well-respected communications strategist around here. i think, really, it's an opportunity, again, that the president made clear in his inauguration speech, he really wants washington to act more. and i think he's got the people around him to help make that a reality. but they're trusted folks, they're talented, and i don't think -- i think he's going to be well served by them. >> david, i want to get into these fiscal triple threat that we have here, which kelly can sp

an exchange when david gregory and senator jim demint on this topic of the president's vision versus that of republicans. listen to this, professor peterson. >> that's something paul ryan said. he said last year the country will choose what happens in 2013. and they did. so aren't we past the point of two different visions and choosing? >> i don't think the country has chosen that. >> so, professor peterson, the election went 51% to 47% with the president. 323 electoral college votes to 206. but according to jim demint, that didn't decide anything, right? >> well, this is the kind of logic of the republican party we've been wrestling with over the last several years. former senator demint is moving more into policy and lobbying and trying to influence the public discourse and that's probably a good place for him to live and breathe in. >> he ought to be attached to reality surely. >> well, as you know, and as we have chronicled on this show and others on this network, reality is not the basis by which those on the far right always sort of draw their conclusions and create their ideas

champion san francisco 49ers led by head coach jim harbaugh. in a brother versus brother championship game. >> it's time to celebrate! the ravens are going back to the super bowl! >> the san francisco 49ers, super bowl bound! >> now we kick off super bowl week from honolulu, hawaii where many of the league best players have been gathering more than

international journalist jim clancy joining me here. and this weapons deal, it was inked in 2010, when mubarak was still in power. tell me about that. >> well, look, we have long had a relationship with egypt's military. the u.s. sees them as vital, if you will, in a chain that goes around the world. this is a chain in the middle east and nothing could be more important to the united states. they want to keep their promises. and so they're going to go ahead with the military aid that they have promised. they want to cooperate with this government. they know they need to be in it, in order to have some influence over what is happening now. when you look at the streets of cairo today, you look at the streets in port said, in issmai province and other areas under curfew tonight, you see a president that is in trouble. president morsi, who even though he's got his supporters, has very limited options. to many egyptians his crackdown, his curfews are making him look more and more like hosni mubarak. >> but, jim clancy, just perspecti perspective, right, we're talking egypt and talking about another

of this country to know the constitution that keeps them free? and jim from virginia e-mailed thomas jefferson said a democracy can only survive in an educated electorate. if we keep this up we will lose the system we were built upon. finally blaine tweets us considering how bad our government acts if we keep teaching how it should operate, it will only get worse. thank everybody who responded. "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day.

when the parents of the brothers jim and john took part in a conference call. listen closely. >> our next question comes john from baltimore. >> yeah. question from baltimore. is it true that both of you like jim better than john? >> you are nuts. john -- >> is that john? >> is that john? >> john. >> that was me john. >> mom was ready to come right through this phone. i'm happy she recognized your voice. >> every kid wants to know who say they are not playing favorites for either. >> a bay area billionaire may try to keep a group from buying the kings. larry ellison seen here last year's open world conference is expected to meet with the mayor kevin johnson about the team. that's according to the bee. we noelle nowitzki he is interested because he tried to buy at warriors. >>> let's go to sal who is looking at traffic. there were issues ono the 880. >> it looks okay. thank you for asking. i think the 880 is a great drive so far. we will look at the bay bridge toll plaza. if you getting ready and don't have time look at the screen. this is what you are dealing with. that's

to make on that day. >> greta: she was referring to head coaches and brothers john and jim harbaugh. see you tomorrow night, 10:00 p.m. please stand by, this is a test g.night. tonight. >> the specific security request pertaining to benghazi were handled by the security officials. i didn't see those requests. >> secretary of state hillary clinton grilled by some republicans in the house and the senate while the democrats did not ask any tough questions about the assassinations in libya. we have a full report on what happened today. ♪ and the rockets red glare ♪ the bombs bursting in air ♪ >> bill: did beyonce lip synch the national anthem? did the national band fake it as well. we will blow the lid off this story. ♪ home of the brave. >> yes, sir mr. president. no, sir, mr. president. may i have another, mr. president? >> also tonight, dennis miller has some thoughts on the inauguration. and the happiest countries in the world. ♪ do-ro-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do. >> caution, the no spin zone begins right now. >> i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. hillary clinton in libya

important than yours? >> reporter: jim baker, head of the group's federal affairs division, reportedly disagreed with the commercial. the nra telling nbc news, "differences of opinion are common to organizations throughout the country." the flap underscores how divisive the issue of gun control continues to be. political analysts say the president doesn't have a lot of time to get congress on board. >> he's not going to spend a whole year doing it. at some point you have to have votes. it's almost like the health care process over again, where it drains resources. >> reporter: white house officials say on tuesday president obama will travel to las vegas, nevada, to talk about another big goal for his second term. that is immigration reform. political analysts say the clock is ticking for him to get something done on that issue, as well. lester? >> kristin welker, thank you. >>> mark halpern is a senior political analyst for msnbc as well as "time" magazine. >> good morning. >> want to pick up what we heard at the end of the story. we don't want this to be another health care. that did

of the national anthem. jim acosta is here. there has been confusion all day. what was going on? what do we know as of right now? >> wolf, this was a question on a lot of lips. earlier a spokesman said what americans heard on inauguration day was a prerecording of pop star beyonce singing the national anthem. take a listen. ♪ ♪ o say, can you see by the dawn's early light ♪ ♪ what so proudly we hailed >> now, that was a prerecording. that spokesman for the u.s. marine band said beyonce made the recording overnight before the inaugural as a standard protocol, the band says, in case something goes wrong during the actual performance and just before the inauguration ceremony, a decision was made to use that recording instead of the live song. the pop star even posted pictures on her facebook page recording the star-spangled banner but on inauguration day beyonce, quote, did not actually sing. and let's look at another quote from that marine official. we don't know why the decision was made. we wondered the same thing. we don't know. we don't have that graphic available. but a u.s. marine ba

.n.c. chairman jim nick -- jim nicholson joins us. do you think that is what is on the president's plate to destroy the congress? >> i think it is. he's looking forward to the elections in 2014 where they can get the house back and have control of the government, which is what makes the u.s. house so historically critically important to us today. we have to be a united republican outpost in the house. that's the only branch of government we still have. and it's very important that we hang together. i used to say when i was a party chairman, we have to hang together so we don't hang separately. and it's more important than ever now. >>steve: absolutely. i want to share with you and our audience right now the results of a fox news poll wh-t president's attitude towards congressional republicans since this election. he's become 55% more confrontational people across america say. you're talking about he would like to take control of the house in two years. that would mean two more years of this super polarized situation in washington, d.c. i think people are sick of that. >> people are. but

greatly weaken a president's recess appointment powers. >> as jim carney was mentioning earlier in that sound bite, he said this has been practiced and precedent for a long time. so is the likelihood that this particular rule cog have an effect on all sorts of presidential appointments going forward? >> absolutely. some people pointed out that many federal judges are sitting on the bench now thanks to their reaes-- recess appointments. and as a result of today's ruling of the three judge panel of the federal appeals court and the district of columbia, those judges appointments could be nullified. and there are prisoners sitting if prison nowadays thinking wait t this is good news. maybe my conviction, maybe my sentencing can be overturned because the judge who ordered my sentence was a recess appointment. >> so considering the magnitude of all this, the supreme court likely to take it up? >> i think so, hari. it's not absolutely clear but because this decision has so much import and because it's the same question being heard now by several different circuit courts and thus there

will get a few more autographs. patrick willis, jim harbaugh. >> hopefully i will get an autograph. >> even though a lot of these are leaving without an autograph are not disappointed it is all business for the team. they want the team to know the 49ers nation is behind them as the go to new orleans. >> the value of that autograft when they have a victory next week! >> and the craze for colin kaepernick sweeping the nation and the bay area. his home town is celebrating right with have local restaurants, and a bakery in his home town and even what the locals half to say. anything with no. 7 on our baked goods it is going like wildfire. i think it is really exciting that he came from our town. >> they are selling you can imagine when they get ready for the kickoff next sunday that the town of the 70,000 residents will be watching. >> that is going to do it for us. >> from all of us, thank you for watching. and joining us tonight and we will be here stoofor super bowl sunday. have a great weekend.

point is they are not talking about today's world. henry kissinger, jim baker, i think jim schlesinger, former secretaries of defense, many others have all agreed with that as a goal for the world. it's a goal. it's an aspiration. we should always be aspirational, but it's not something that could happen in today's world, nor could any leader today sit here or any other chair and promote to you the notion that we ought to be cutting down our deterrent level below an adequate level to maintain deter -- deterrence. the military has very strong views about what that is. we have cut down to some 1,500. there is talk of going down to a lower number. i think personally it's possible to get there if you have commensurate levels of inspections, verification, abouf your nuclear stockpile program, etc. now, senator, i know you are deeply invested in that component of it. the nuclear stockpile proposal. i made -- we can come to some of that maybe later in the hearing here, but i believe we have to maintain that. because that's the only way you maintain an effective level of deterrence. and the ru

. we need to understand why. martha: yes, we do. jim springer joins us now. >> that's right, this problem did not sneak up on us. a fire was sparked over six years ago that exploded during a test. this was an arizona company called that was a boeing contractor. they make a charter for the 787 boeing plane. during some testing, 60-pound battery life. blew up. there is no doubt that the agency put special conditions on the battery installation of those planes. but as you heard yesterday, the safety systems that boeing put into place to prevent a battery from overheating and catching fire certainly have failed. a serious problem indeed. martha: is there a timeline of when they expect it will be able to get the plane back in the air? >> they did not say how long it would take, but we are talking about months instead of weeks. the least were the planes to fly again. they are courting meeting with japanese officials that are investigating a second overheated battery that forced an emergency landing there. the company that makes the batteries as they are. officials say the batterie

sunday. big brother john, against little brother jim. and they will certainly be the featured attraction at media day tomorrow and all week long really. even their parents have a press conference scheduled. that's how big the harbaugh story is. jim's 49ers arrived on sunday, as we did. they were right in the middle of mardi gras. these were the scenes all weekend long here in new orleans. you had parades, floats, beads being tossed, drinking. regular saturday and sunday here in new orleans. new orleans having the super bowl and mardi gras, they would have it no other way. >> super bowl next weekend, we can't wait. it will be a great time in the city. everybody will be having a lot of fun. >> nfl, we're excited the super bowl is here. can't wait. ta's going to be a great thing for the city. >> the city is electric right now. between, you know, mardi gras, the super bowl, mardi gras had to be pushed up a week. we've got pretty much an entire month of partying, which we're used to. new orleanians can handle it. >> if you think there's a break in the action, there actually will be this week.

was the last practice. jim harbaugh great mood. coach harbaugh looked on as colin kaepernick and the offense worked on passing plays. the weather was holding out, they are ready to get to new orleans. it can be distracting with the hoopla. and new orleans he says that there will be a curfew. with all the excitement the focus needs to be on the game. >> i want them to enjoy it, enjoy every minute and especially enjoy the competition that is the most exciting thing to look forward to explain his game and working together, fighting together, playing together. for a chance to win the championship perfect for >> a good news is that they are favored to win purify >> yes by a least four points. certainly that could change between now and when this is played on next sunday depending on injury or god forbid, a arrested. colin kaepernick is possibly the most that on player in history. he is so dynamic that there are so many different ways you can bet on him. >> pam: colin kaepernick grew up not far from the bay area. was raised not too far from the bay area. coming up at 5-30 -- we'll take you to his

was jim mcgovern, a massachusetts democrat in the house. used to be a staffer himself. that is how he got his start in politics. he remembers what it is like to be on the other end and know hes that staffers do a lot of the work in congress. no member can do it by himself and tends to run a low key office. asks that even interns call him by his first name. for whatever reason not sur are pleasingly, staffers like that and shows in the form of loyalty and he is able to build expertise. he is not having to constantly retrain people. treat the staff well and they stick around and your have expertise. >> shannon: what about the senate? >> the best member of the senate is john thune. both had only one in ten staffers leave every year. compare that to sheila jackson-lee, consistently 54% of her staff walk out every single year. >> shannon: a tough job whether you have a good or bad boss. don't get paid huge bucks. basically working 24/7. want to make sure you have a good boss. folks can read more? >> look up any member of congress at washingtontypes .com/losses. >> shannon: good to see you. pau

in the luby's shooting tack 30 years ago. and we had guns and god and jim and kill kelly, the former mvp will be with us and they'll talk about the struggles through infidelity and the loss of a child so we'll run the gamut tonight. it's a great show. >> alisyn: sounds great. we'll be tuning in. >> good to talk to you. >> tucker: coming up, a christian pastor thrown behind bars because of his beliefs in iran. and we'll have his wife would yous now he's flipping houses on tv and a gadget guru. do you realize that vanilla ice is encroaching on your territory. >> clayton: a smackdown. and vanilla ice is coming in. and season three of his show will launch coming up. ♪ rolling in my 5. ♪ can curlers! tomato basil, potato with bacon... we've got a lot of empty cans. [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. we've got a lot of empty cans. is bigger than we think ... sometimelike the flu.fer from with aches, fever and chills- the flu's a really big deal. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescripti

newt gingrich who topple democratic speaker jim wright and tom foley, the democrats did not even field a candidate. in ohio, against john boehner, speaker of the house, his principal nemesis. then we wonder why he is so aggressive? see, this is where the problem is. what we need to focus on is, how we organize demands on president obama and the members of congress back home? there are only 536 of them. 650,000, men, women, and children in each congressional district. it is a fraction of those numbers, 1000, 2000, getting behind the kind of long overdue solutions in this country can begin to make it happen. you know what my motto is these days? we have got to realize it is a lot easier than we think. if we exaggerate the opposition as a reflection of our own self- imposed powerlessness, we will be powerless. >> we're talking to ralph nader, longtime consumer advocate and presidential candidate. now talking about minimum wage. talking for a minute about foreign policy. your assessment of president obama is nominee to the secretary of state, john kerry, and chuck hagel, which he has gone

in today's world. henry kissinger, jim baker, james schlesinger, many others have all agreed with that as a goal for the world. it is an aspiration. we should always be aspirational. but it is not something that can happen in today's world nor could any leader today sit here or in any other chair and promote the notion that we should be cutting down our deterrent levels before inadequate levels to maintain deterrence. the military has strong views about what that is. we have cut down some 1500 now. there is talk of going down to a lower number. i think it is possible to get their, if you have commensurate levels of inspections, verification, and guarantees about the capacity of your nuclear stockpile program. i know you are deeply invested in that component. we can get to some of that may be later in the hearing. i believe we have to maintain that. i don't think senator hegel is sitting there or will go to the defense department and be a proponent. this is talking about conflict resolution, changes that have to take place the that the society's -- societies. it is worth aspir

of the reasons this organizing for action, jim messina's full-time job is trying to get the union's in line, but it's going to be hard. it's hard on the democratic side. we're not even talking about the difficulty on the republican side getting it through the house. this is a senate democratic problem. >> so the republicans in the house, in effect, could stare at harry reid's senate and say okay, immigration reform, that's great. you guys pass it. >> say bring it. >> yeah, bring it. gun control, great. you guys pass it, we'll look at it. gay marriage, if you want to nationalize it, go ahead. you guys pass it. we'll look -- i mean, they could do this on every one of the president's top priorities. and chances are good the president's top priorities, as stated today, wouldn't pass the democratic senate. >> i think a lot of them would not. >> that's fascinating. jeff, thank you for being here. and know this. this time next year, the university of alabama will have passed your cornhuskers and actually won 4 out of 5 national championships. >> i think you're right. >> i was actually grabbed by a

three years on that same topic. >> just in case some of your friends or neighbors, you know, uncle jim who is a little stubborn and been watching fox news and if you are on the right, then you're only reading the "wall street journal" editorial page and watching fox news. i've got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration. i mean, that's a pretty -- >> i assume you're talking about fox. >> that's a pretty big mega phone. >> brian: then it was quiet for a while. he kicks off the next four years -- >> it's kind of silly and laughable in a lot of respects. the president gave a civil libertarian inauguration. now he's talk being retire restraint in and out he says the reason we have problems with debate in this country is because the people on the left like msnbc, they really want to encourage compromise and debate. but the people at fox news, they really are out of control. they're really crazy. they don't want to have debate and they're going to punish the republican congressional leaders if there is a debate. the other thing he said, and it's really bizarre,

correspondent of "politico," good morning. >> good morning. i actually go for the richard haass six. jim vandehei says six hours is the key to being healthy and wise. >> i tried to crunch the numbers on it, though, because the "playbook" goes out at 6:00 on a saturday morning which means you've been up since 3:00 working on it. so when do you sleep? do you go to bed at 6:00 at night? i don't believe you. >> don't ask too many questions. >> there's going to be a press conference up on capitol hill this morning. a so-called group of eight senators, very high-profile senators, going to unveil a bipartisan immigration reform, at least the outlines of some kind of a plan. take us through it a little bit. >> yeah, willie, this is going to be immigration week, certainly immigration month, maybe immigration year because as joe suggested at "national review" this weekend, i popped in there yesterday with the "national review" institute here in washington. more and more republicans are open to doing something on immigration. so today, these senators, these include some of the biggest players on th
